World Veterinary Association Position on Control of Inappropriately Aggressive Dogs

On 12th August 2013, the WVA Council adopted a WVA position on Control of Inappropriately Aggressive Dogs. Thanks a lot to all the veterinarians that helped to prepare this WVA position.

Most responsibly managed dogs will not become dangerous to people or domesticated animals. However, aggression is part of the behavioral repertoire of any dog, and may occur for reasons not immediately apparent to a human observer.
